Description

So you want to be a fire juggler? Do you have what it takes? The dexterity? The reflexes? ...the courage? If you think so, then let's give you a little practice!

Take these torches and run near the bonfire. You'll see braziers with markers flashing above them. Toss a torch at a marked brazier. Be quick! Do it before the mark fades if you want credit for the toss!

Hit enough marked braziers before the time limit, then come back here... for your next lesson.

Basically you activate the item, and you get a small circle. You place the circle over the brazier that has the hunters mark over it, and left click. Fairly straightforward.

It helps to have the torches on your toolbar, so you can just hit "1" and you get your circle. Makes it a little faster.

Remember also that you can retake the quest, of course.

Comment by Dakdas

Deceptively easy task made annoyingly difficult due to the fact there will likely be 10+ people also trying to do the same thing, making shadow tracking a real pain.

Try and do it at a capital city not normally frequented, or wait until off-peak hours if you just can't do it.

Comment by Elinye

You have to hit 8 braziers to complete the quest. It took me several tries, but it really does help to have the torches in your toolbar. The speed at which the arrows change is maddening.

At level 57 the quest gave me 8750xp and 85 silver, along with the 5 Burning Blossoms. Very easy quest and easy xp!

Comment by venvenae

I found that it helped me if I moved up closer to the targets after accepting the quest. You cant get too far away from the bonfire tho. After countless attempts I got it second try doing it this way.

For Hunters, throw on your Aspect of the Cheetah and it makes this so much easier.

Comment by Brimley

For some reason a lot of people forget that you have a hotbar to abuse for this quest! Just drag the torches to a number so you can keep your cursor on the braziers.

Comment by KuniZero

I was having a difficult time with this quest until I went to Darnassus. The layout of the braziers is slightly different, and no one was there. I was able to complete the quest on the first try.

Comment by Seersha

Hitting every other one isn't required for the win but is very helpful and keeps you from getting frustrated...save all your frustration for the torch catching. Not only is it difficult but 20 others will be doing at the same time and in the same direction as you so if you win it's by pure luck that you found your own torch.

Comment by Pete3p0

I'm having trouble completing this quest as i have major lag.....550ms latency.

Comment by florah99

It absolutely helps to put the torch in the number slot of your toolbar. I tried several times before I moved it to the number slot and used aspect of the cheetah, then I got it the first time.

Comment by SHDodge

despite all the help from these comments, i was just plain too laggy to get this thing done in stormwind. So i headed off to the deadest place on my server, the Exodar. No lag, fine FPS, and the braziers are all bunched together. did both the regular and daily torch quests in 20 minutes.

Comment by ShoeboxWarrior

I've had trouble with this quest. I tried it in Darnassus first but the torches kept saying "this item is not ready" every time I hit the key I linked them to on the hotbar. I ended up hitting the key and the mouse button several times for each throw just to get the torch airborne. I have yet to try this again, as I fear I will throw my computer across the room.

Comment by Dractulamede

The major problem with this one was the fact that by the time you get your cursor on the brazier, the hunter's mark is gone.

The fact that the torch-throwing contest was set up in SW right next to where the cooking daily is located meant that people were frequently getting in my line of sight.

I completed the quest by clicking on the quest-giver, then turning around and getting myself set up before accepting the quest. Then I accepted the quest already in positon and fired away until I got it right.

Comment by braybray911

This took me about 5 or 6 times to do but... go every other time the arrow is on the braizer, good luck :)

Comment by Elivran

Totally agree with you, this is a nonsense quest that was designed by a Blizz employee that probably hates his/her job and has taken frustrations out on us.

I tried hitting every other pot, I have put the torches on my hotbar, disabled all my addons etc etc etc and all to no avail.

I wish Blizz would take into consideration lag that people encounter rather that giving us stupid quests to do and then tell us to delete this folder and then delete that folder to fix the lag.

Come on Blizz do you want me to play or throw my computer across the room.

Comment by CircleofHealing

Big ping times from Australia and the brazier layout pretty well made this impossible in Ironforge and Stormwind, even with the torch hot keyed. Turned off the error speech in audio after getting "That spell is not ready yet" over and over. It was awful, so I feel your guys pain.

Tried it in Exodar where the layout is a bit different and braziers are a little closer and got it first pop. The subsequent 20 brazier daily was achievable too.

Comment by Grizster

the one dude was right it is much easier in exodar got it first try just sucked traveling there:)

Comment by Seedyranger

I guess the journey to Exodar is made a bit easier if you HS to Darn then use the portal in the temple...better check the damn thing's still there I suppose! :-)

Comment by Chetti

It took me a few times even using the advice of hitting every other brazier. This is good advice though, put the torch on your hotbar, and go after every other one starting with the second. This gives time for the cooldown and for your eyes to follow the marker and get your mouse over there. I started counting out loud each time I hit one just to make sure it wasn't gipping me. Because I ended up failing, not sure if its a timed thing or if you only get so many markers to hit, I think I was getting 7 and failing. Finally got the 8th, it helped to count out loud each time one hit. Good luck!

Though, I do agree, this is one of those pointless holiday things I wouldn't do if it weren't a part of the achievement.. and I do so love titles.

Comment by thatsjustgreat

Ugh, I can't seem to do this stupid quest in Darnassus. Unlike in SW, the quest giver is too far away from the torches to be able to toss them without moving closer, which wastes precious time. Lame, lame, lame. And the other one is even worse. The master fire eater can suck it.

Comment by FlamingMonocle

I tried this quest multiple times in both Stormwind (too much lag to effectively do anything) and Darnassus (bad layout of braziers) to no avail and a lot of frustration. However, the Exodar ones are very easy and well laid out (also not too crowded).

I got it on Exodar first try. Definitely recommend going to Exodar, even if it is a longer trip.

Comment by Gelleinad

As with any timing game... If you have a slow laggy computer like I do... turn your graphics down. If you dont then you wont see 1/2 of the torches light up and even the ones you do see might not really be at the right time for you to catch them and get credit.

Only thing I wish blizz had done differently was to put some kind of counter somewhere so you would know how you were doing.

Comment by MoarHeroisms

The marked braziers were updated this year to spawn more than one at a time and at a higher rate, making it faster and more fun to complete.
